So yea, there ya go. I hadn't heard it. Nothing special but always fun to find a new little gem.

Cool interview too.

thanks really enjoyed that!

Loved it, thanks for the link strat.

So Ed recorded early versions of Parting Ways and MFC with those guys? Cool.

Where can one find that Parting Ways?

No idea, I've never heard that studio demo of MFC before.

I guess only those dudes and Ed have copies, I've never seen it around.

That would be pretty cool to hear.

Cool. Does he say "theres, no traffic here..." if so I like that a lot better.

whoa, that corduroy is waaaay different. sounds like a mike watt song with a bit of green disease thrown in. (there's a download link for the whole live set at the end of the article, in case any you didn't get that far)

Isn't the Eddie and the Eyetalians version of "Corduroy" more or less an electric version of the Bridge '96 version?

Pretty much.

HMM,. I realized that I havent actually listened to this entire show, just a majority of the songs.

Good times

pretty enjoyable noise jam at the end of that set. i've wished the band would do more of this type of thing.
